Käsmu chapel and cemetery

Käsmu chapel is a wooden chapel built in 1863 with the money of the villagers. The pride of the chapel is one of the oldest organs in Estonia, which originates from the Swedish-Mihkli church in Tallinn. The organ was likely built by the organ master Johann Andreas Stein in the late 18th century.

The cemetery surrounding the chapel has also brought fame to the village as the final resting place of captains. From the cemetery, one can find one of the most beautiful grave monuments in Estonia, which was erected in memory of Captain Tiedemann’s young deceased favorite daughter, Signe.

Nearby is the cast-iron General’s chapel, which was established in 1846 in memory of General Nikolai von Dellingshausen, who was the first to discover Käsmu as a holiday destination.
